Sustainability

We are a transparent and principled business.

We aim to create a world that runs entirely on green energy. We want to contribute to creating a world where people can use energy as a natural part of their everyday lives without contributing to climate change and limiting opportunities for future generations.

It is paramount for us to operate a sustainable business that respects communities, the environment and our employees.

Our sustainable business approach was adopted in 2016 as part of our transformation to a green energy company, and provides a framework for us to reach our goal of creating a world that runs entirely on green energy.
